    Ralph Lauren Sale coming up...

    During the last Polo sale in Dec. 2008 I corresponded with a store about purchasing a solid navy RLPL suit at the 30% off (sale price). I could not add on any additional discounts. As the retail was > $4000 the sale price would have been around $3000, so ultimately I didn't buy.

    What time period do you idealize?

    1925-1938 for the clothing, furniture, art, and lifestyle (among the wealthy). 2009 for the dental care and puncture resistant auto tires.

    Expectations of a cashmere suit?

    I have a 100% cashmere RLPL suit that I've owned about 3 years. The cashmere is relatively heavy, and has a certain "fluffiness" I've found in other RLPL cashmere goods. I wear it once every 2-3 weeks from mid-fall through early spring. So far (knock on wood) no appreciable wear or...

    I propose a ban on the word "shirting(s)", unless it is spoken by someone wearing a monocle.

    Houndstooth suit

    I have no problem with the size of the houndstooth--I have a suit with a houndstooth pattern almost exactly the same size and its great as a "casual" suit. What won't work well is the color scheme...three colors instead of two. My suit is just dark grey and medium gray.

    Complete end of Men's Vogue has been Twittered

    Subscribed the first year and never renewed. It was just kind of blah - I'm not sure it knew what kind of magazine it wanted to be. Was not particulalry pleased about Obama and Edwards on the covers (with articles) without any attempt to cover more conservative voices. I guess I wasn't in there...

    Are These Shoes a Mistake?

    I view spectator shoes outside the golf course as costume. When I look at photos of well dressed men from the 1930s the one thing I consistently dislike is the frequency with which spectator shoes were worn.

    MTM Samuelsohn Corduroy Jacket

    I will be commissioning a MTM Samuelsohn corduroy jacket in the next few weeks, and wanted to get the opinions of the esteemed SF community of styling details. - Colour: I'm debating between a chocolate brown and a rich golden tan colour. Thoughts on versatility? - Fabric: If anyone has any...

    How to treat/restore alligator?

    From what I have read once croc or alligator is dried out there is nothing you can do to revitalize it. However, it may be worth contacting Modern Leather Goods to see if anything can be done (they are good). They may want you to send the bag in to be inspected...

    Going to a Funeral for the Republican Party....

    What would be the appropriate thing to wear? Wear your dignity, freedom, and self-reliance. Then toss them in the grave and put on one of these.

    The Mad Men sketch on SNL was a real disappointment but Don's guide to picking up women was great.
